Christmas In My Bedroom

Christmas In My Bedroom

Wanted to just share with you a few of the little Christmassy things that I have done around my bedroom. I haven't really done a lot but kept it pretty and simple so I hope you like it. 

Every year I like to have this little white tree in my bedroom. I decorate it with little silver and white ornaments and a snowflake on the top so it all goes with the rest of my bedroom. 

I like to hang these little white snowflakes all over my bedroom. 

This is my favourite winter candle at the moment. It smells amazing and I can't stop burning it. 

In love with the beautiful sequinned snowflake. 

And of course my fairy lights are a must!

Pretty cuddly things on my bed. 

And a little bit of Christmas Michael to complete the mood!

Hope you are all feeling super festive now! Only a few more days to go! xx

Maxfactor Face Infinity Primer

Maxfactor Face Infinity Primer

I picked this up a while back in the huge Boots haul that I did. I saw it and remembered Amelia Liana saying this was a dupe for I think a Giorgio Armani primer. This one is a really decent size bottle for around £10 and it also has SPF 20 which for me is really important. 

Since I bought this I've actually been wearing it most days. I find that it really smooths out my skin and feels really luxurious and silky. It makes any makeup that I put on top feel a lot more flawless and helps it stay in place for most of the day. Overall I think that this is a really great daytime primer, especially for this time of year when skin can be feeling a little dull and dry. This just adds a nice healthy boost and glow to that face and is still protecting you from the sun. 

What I will say is that this is best worn during the day. For the evening and going out the SPF could cause flash back and you probably want something more long lasting and less silky. But for a high street everyday SPF primer Maxfactor's offering is a really good one that I definitely recommend. 

Hope you are all well and looking forward to Christmas xx

Christmas Baking

Christmas Baking

Jack came over yesterday and we had a really relaxing day. We did a winter walk at the park near my house and then we went into town to pick up some ingredients to do some baking. We decided to make little Christmas cupcakes as we had seen pictures on the internet and they looked really cute. These cupcakes were so easy and quick to make and they taste so good. I think I've eaten 4 since we make them!

We can so much fun decorating these and my mum and brother join in a bit too. They aren't very professional looking cakes and I think that looking on the internet before gave me false hope of what they may look like! But they taste so good and it was just such a cute thing to do and such a simple Christmas activity. 

This is the recipe that we used. http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/cupcakes_93722

Then in the evening we all started to watch the new Netflix original series, Marco Polo. So far I really like it, it can be a bit confusing in places but there's action and romance and very good acting. Can't wait to sit down with my family again this evening to watch another episode.

Hope you have had a good Friday. Less than a week until Christmas now. xx

Lush Bubble Bath

Lush Bubble Bath

I know that a lot of people out there love Lush but I've never really been one of those girls. Occasionally I'll walk into the shop, have a little sniff of some of the products and then leave empty handed. It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I find a lot of the smells overpowering and more often than not the shop gives me a bit of a headache after a while. 

But having been at university for the last few month one thing that I had found I really missed was a nice long soak in a bath. So when I was in Westfield on Monday I decided to treat myself to a bath bomb to celebrate my first bath for such a long time. 

I smelt basically all of the bath bombs that Lush had to offer until they all started to smell the same and I was getting confused! But in the end the one that I chose was a really nice simple one. The smell is relaxing and slightly sweet but not so strong that it is offensive. 

And I didn't realise until after I used this (although I probably should have from the name!) that this has little pieces of their butter bar in. So when the bath bomb dissolves you are left with little pieces of the butter bar in the bath that slowly melt into the water leaving a kind of oil in the bath that then makes your skin feel amazing. My skin actually felt and looked amazing after my bath which I really didn't think was going to happen. I thought this was just going to change the colour of my water a little and make my bath smell nice, but it did so much more. 

I lit lots of candles and placed them around my bath as this helps me to relax even more. I also had some Taylor playing to sing a long to! Singing in the bath is so much better than singing in the shower as you can't get water in your mouth and the sound is so much better!! 

I really loved using this bath bomb and actually wish that I had got a few more! So I would definitely recommend this one if you haven't tried it already. Also I would love to hear in the comments below your favourite Lush products.
